Destination Cambodia

Discover Cambodia

Cambodia is a Southeast Asian country, belonging to the former French colony of Indochina, and bordering Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos. In other words, it's a magical and mystical land, built with ancient temples, centuries-old stories, dense forests, and exotic animals.

In addition, it is one of the most biodiverse countries in Southeast Asia. Its forests serve as habitat for many endangered species, some of which have already disappeared in other neighboring countries. Just to illustrate, the Siamese crocodile, the Asiatic elephant, and the tiger survive in lush forest retreats scattered across the country. As well as birds, including pheasants and wild ducks, mammals, wild oxen, panthers, and bears.

In contrast, the Angkor temples are unparalleled in scale of magnitude in Southeast Asia, with 41 temples. However, the most famous are: Angkor Wat, Banteay Srey, Bantey Samre, Phrah Khan, Neak Pean, Bayon Temple - with its more than 200 sculpted faces and 54 towers - and the Ta Prohm - Jungle Temple, which became known worldwide after serving as the location of the movie “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”. In addition, it served as the headquarters of the Khmer empire, which ruled the region until the 13th century.

Touristic spots

Phnom Penh

Beneath the sound of rickshaws and motorcycles, Cambodia's capital lies in the serenity of aging French colonial mansions and temples while cushioning the chaotic landscape of Phnom Penh.

Things to do in Phnom Penh

• Visit to the Silver Pagoda: located inside the walls of the Royal Palace is an undeniably fascinating structure lined with 5,000 silver blocks. In addition, it houses a 17th century Buddha cut in Baccarat crystal, and another made almost entirely of gold with approximately 10,000 diamonds.
• Boat trip: along the Mekong or Tonle Sap rivers, the tour usually takes place during sunset.
• Koh Dach: also known as Silk Island, is approximately an hour's drive away. Therefore, it is recommended for a full day trip, with a visit to weaving villages and contemplating the beautiful local landscape.

Siem Reap

Embedded in the jungle, the ancient city of Angkor Wat is the main attraction for visitors to Siem Reap. In addition to temple visits, the city offers many options when it comes to culture and history. Pottery classes, war museums and local food, for example, are ways to learn more about local culture.

Things to do in Siem Reap

• Visit Angkor Wat: the most sought after attraction in Cambodia is not only the largest religious monument in the world, but surprisingly beautiful. It is the largest and best preserved temple in the Angkor complex and was built in the first half of the 12th century. It is considered one of the 7 wonders of the modern world.
• Check out a local restaurant: after a long day of exploring Angkor, it's the perfect option to relax in the city.
• Banteay Srey Butterfly Center (BBC): a great experience to live with the family, it is a sanctuary to preserve butterflies. The garden has dozens of butterfly species that circulate freely through the tropical rainforest set up to recreate their habitat.
